The overwhelming support and the large turnout at our recent gathering are clear testaments to the trust and acceptance I have earned.

I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve and for the confidence placed in me by Governor Monday Okpebholo. His support has been instrumental in achieving these milestones, and I am honored to be asked to join him in advancing the SHINE AGENDA. My loyalty and dedication to his vision remain absolute.

So, the mammoth crowd that you see here is a testament to my accessibility, my acceptance, and that they are ready and willing to send me back for another term.

Just like they have said, one good term deserves another. I want to use this opportunity to thank Governor Monday Okpebholo for finding me worthy, the trust and confidence that he has in me, to ask me to join him, to work.

So, like I said, I want to reaffirm my commitment, my dedication, my loyalty to him, to his vision, to his mission for the SHINE AGENDA. And I thank him most profoundly for finding me deserving of re-election.
